Neil Ellis Op Sy Moer 2020

Afrikaans name, ‘On The Lees’, alerts you to cloudiness & sediment in 2020, certified as ‘alternative white’. From palomino (51%) & chenin from Piekenierskloof, packed with umani (nuts, seaweed, salt) & ginger. Bone-dry, light & pleasingly tannic. Bunch pressed & naturally fermented in old oak, no sulphur added. Score – 93. (Platter’s South African Wine Guide, 2023)
